The Urfather...?
... of all Worth men's fragrances? Quite possibly, considering its year of release, The hereditary connection becomes clear right after the first sniff. Like its counterparts, Worth PH and its (rather presumptuously titled "Concentré") counterpart, we are dealing here with a wonderfully natural, classic men's fragrance...

A Phantom in Foggy Murk...
... well, it doesn't get much more obscure than this. According to our database, Angkor has only launched this one fragrance, and otherwise, there is simply NOTHING to find out about the manufacturer or the scent, even with the most intensive research. "Mariguana" came up during one of my internet searches for rare and...

"Eight & Bob" in Spanish - The Lemon Cake
After spending, oh, months with unknown Italians, the unknown Spaniards have been up for a few weeks now. There are indeed interesting things to discover in this area... When the colleague first came under my nose today, I was truly astonished: "You know this one from somewhere..." Gourmand, lemon cake, oh yes, it real...

Citrusy spice once again, yet different
Yes, back then it was still possible... EdBfM, a veritable classic that is hardly known in this excellent community and is not particularly easy to obtain. In one of the numerous (or almost "countless") vintage perfumeries in Bella Italia, I finally found it. The impression and development of this fragrance must primar...

This stupid wagon wheel ROY ROGERS GARAGE SALE COFFEE TABLE!
A line from "When Harry met Sally," brilliantly translated as "this table that a blind person made from a wagon wheel," or something similar. Unless the bottle designer was smoking some really weird stuff, I have to assume it was intentional, because such an ugly bottle cannot be designed by accident. This monstrosity...

Successful Treasure Hunt - Vol. II
And already the next vintage OF has moved in with me... "Burberrys for Men" is both a typical and atypical English fragrance. Typical in terms of its fine and wonderfully balanced structure, which radiates warmth and "homeliness," and atypical due to its strength. Yes, even Burberry had to (or wanted to) step it up a b...

Unknown Vintage Italian - Vol. XXII
... and this time again a complete phantom. No one here knows it except me, Basenotes and Fragrantica have nothing on it, and it is also unknown on the bay. Well, I wanted to keep it all like this... What first stands out is the striking similarity of the bottle to that of the divine fragrance, Ebene de Balmain. I’ll e...

Yes, he can still do it
Cerruti is not exactly a manufacturer that releases one fragrance after another. Since the debut, there have only been five additional men's fragrances (not counting this flanker). In the same period, for example, Boss or Lacoste have launched at least double that number. So, no rush in this regard. And this fragrance...

A "personal" scent...
... where "personal" should not be understood as the sister of "bad." The "Chypre-like" aspect does not really reveal itself to me here; the scent starts off very soapy and creamy. Quite intense and requires some getting used to in the top note, in my opinion. It reminds me a bit of "Aigner No. 2." As it develops, "Arg...

I would have guessed he was older...
this exotic fragrance, which currently has just one owner and no comments yet. If I hadn't acquired him as part of a mini-collection, I probably would never have noticed him in my life. Every scent deserves a review, so... My headline already hints at it: "Babor Homme" has a somewhat old-fashioned herbal-spicy scent an...
